My belly feels silly....

[WannaBeGrumpy]

It's kinda sick...but it's also hungry...so I am kinda confused...I don't like being nauseous? What is wrong with me? My belly has been doing this for about a week now...WTF!? :wtf:

1. If that hippy knocked you up

I'm flying out there to kick some patchouli-soaked ass!!!

Seriously, have some tea and toast and take it easy. Feel better soon! :hug:

[WannaBeGrumpy]

3. That sounds like my stomach when I have a stomach ulcer

flaring up. I hope you aren't getting one of those. They are painful.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

4. Ehhh...that doesn't sound fun...

i hope i don't either...:(

5. What exactly is astomach ulcer?

i've heard the word before but i don't know what it is?

6. Peptic ulcer.

Warning: There is a pair of fairly-nasty photos of ulcers at the top of this Wikipedia article.

I doubt you have an ulcer. At your age (18, I think I heard you say in another thread.), they're uncommon; usually seen in people with terrible diets, chain-smokers, high stress individuals, or exposure to H. pylori bacteria in the parts of the world with poor sanitation and water-treatment.

8. Yeah...those were some funtastic pictures....

i don't think that's what i have. (i sure hope not)

10. There are also some called duodenal ulcers as well.

You may not have that either, but not everyone who has a stomach ulcer is a lowlife from the dregs of society in this world as implied above. I first got my duodenal ulcer when I was 11 years old, before ever starting smoking at all and I lived in a clean household. :eyes:

In any case, I do hope you start feeling better.

11. Does it make your whole stomach hurt?

My stomach has been hurting for weeks. Certain parts are extra-sensitive, but the whole stomach hurts.

[Jamastiene]

12. Mine always did.

It would hurt more in some areas, but it makes your whole stomach area hurt.

[WannaBeGrumpy]

13. No it doesn't exactly hurt....

just nausea...i guess.

7. Basically, there is a part right above your stomach

in what is known as the gastrointestinal tract, called a duodenum. That would be situated between your esophagus and your stomach. It gets ulcers on it and hurts like crazy. It will make you feel hungry and nauseated at the same time. Usually, it is caused by stress or a steady diet of spicy foods (in some cases).

9. well....i don't usually eat spicy foods...

I'm not really stress....i did in fact end up puking...yum
